We have all experienced it. Whether it’s family, friends, co-workers, or even mentors… someone at some point in your life has told you what you should and shouldn’t do.
From the moment you were an infant, your parents would warn you about doing things mainly so you wouldn’t get hurt.
“Don’t get on that table”
“Don’t touch that glass”
“Don’t run in the hallway”
“Don’t hang out with the bad crowd…”
Don’t, Don’t, Don’t!!!
As time went by, there was a lot of shit you couldn’t do! I mean, everything you wanted to do became associated as something wrong or bad. As you got older, the word “DON’T” slowly took a different form.
This is where the real mind-fucking started to take effect. For example:
“Get good grades”
“Get into college”
“Get a good job”
“Get a good boyfriend/girlfriend”
“Get married”
“Get a house”
“Get some kids….” As so on.
The reverse of the word “DON’T” became the societal “DO”!
You were becoming structured with the use of one fucking word!!
What if I told you there was a way out? What if I told you there was a way to change your thought process on this bullshit structured existence you currently live in?
I want to help you structure your life by understanding that the word “DON’T” has had many restrictions on your life. This word has actually been a barrier.
It’s been stopping you from living the way you were meant to live. The way YOU want to live.
How many times have you exclaimed an idea to family, significant other or friends and all you’ve heard is the word “DON’T”?
How many times have you thought of making certain changes in your life but someone has used the power of “DON’T” in such a way that you never do anything at all?
You never went after that promotion because someone said you weren’t ready.
You never got that car you’ve always wanted because someone told you it was too expensive.
You never went on that vacation because someone told you to go somewhere else instead.
You never visited family or friends because someone said you have to visit other family members.
I mean, what the fuck? When will you do something for you? When will it ever be the right time for YOU?
When will you wake up and realize that we all have an expiration date?
When will you realize that time is precious and you need to live YOUR fucking life?
Oh I know… you’re waiting for retirement. Once you hit that golden age of 65, that’s when you’ll be ready to do all the things you’ve always wanted to do. Well, good fucking luck with that.
I hope you’re as healthy and able as when you were 45.
All I can say is… wake the fuck up!
The word “DON’T” is very powerful. It’s been influencing the things you do or don’t do in life since you were born.
Make smart choices and start living in the now. It’s time to stop listening to words like “DON’T” and start listening to words like “DO”.
You were meant for greatness. You were meant to “DO” and not sit around waiting for someone to tell you it’s, all of a sudden, okay to live.
You’re time is clicking. Will you continue your current existence or will you start living?
Just remember… you are self-made. You have earned your place. Your “DO” is deserved.
